Coopers- 86 Days Pilsner - 40 Pint Beer Kit

Make 40 pints of pilsner lager with the Coopers 86 Days Pilsner, a beer kit with history, meaning and substance. It gets its name from the journey that Thomas Cooper and his wife took from Plymouth, England to Adelaide, Australia in 1852.

The trip took 86 days and this beer pays homage to the journey they took.

Coopers 86 Days Pilsner is a great beer kit. It is golden in colour, it has stunning herbal notes, a clean, crisp taste with a bitter finish.

A subtle sweetness from the malts is also present, and the rich, frothy head completes this brilliant pint.

This Coopers 86 Days Pilsner beer kit - unlike its name, does not take 86 days to make. It only takes about 3 weeks to be ready for drinking, thankfully not 86 days!

This kit will also require one of the following:
a - 1kg of Brewing Sugar (supermarket sugar will work, but it will cause the finished beer to be sweet)
Or
b - 1kg of Beer Enhancer.  A mixture of brewing sugar and light spraymalt.  This will give the finished beer a good body and mouth feel.
Or
c - 1.2kg of Liquid Malt Extract.  This will give the best finished beer with a smooth body, full flavour and good head retention.

You will also need basic brewing equipment such as: a bucket; siphon; steriliser; thermometer & hydrometer to brew this ingredient kit.
